168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris was left perplexed by his hefty 10-second stop-go penalty at the F1 Qatar Grand Prix but conceded that he had ‘let McLar🌜en do✨wn’.

Norris was handed a size♛able penalty after the F1 stewards deemed that he didn’t lift under ⛦yellow flags.

The penalty c𒐪ame at꧙ the worst time possible for Norris given it was just after a Safety Car period.

Once he served the penalty, he came out at the back of the �𝄹�field before recovering to finish 10th.

Speaking to Sky Spor𝄹ts after the race in Qatar, Norris said: “Honestly, I don’t know what I’ve done wrong at the minute. Apparently I didn’t slow under t🌠he yellow. I am not an idiot.

“If I knew there was a yellow I would hav🍰e slowed down. I don’t know if I have missed it or just been dumb. If the rule is if you 🐼don’t slow down under the yellow that’s the penalty then it’s a fair penalty. I had clean air at the end. It was an opportunity missed.”

“The team gave me a great car today so I am thankful for the team. Di🥀sappointed I couldn’t have done a worse job than I🧸 did today and not give them the points they deserve.

“I have made the job of the team much h🐻arder than it needs to be. The team are doing a grea👍t job but I’ve let them down.”
